Abstract

Background: In this study we have examined the risk of death by HOMICIDE in Miami-Dade County and Broward County (BC); and examined the association between socioeconomic status and HOMICIDE while describing victim’s typical characteristics such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, and type of injury.Methods: Data was collected from the County’s Medical Examiner’s Offices, Census Bureau, and Federal Bureau of Investigation between 2004 and 2007.Results: There has been an increase in the risk of dying by HOMICIDE in the studied area; the HOMICIDE rate for the selected period was two times higher than the national average. Although Black Non-Hispanics count for 19% of the population of Miami-Dade County and 23% in Broward County, 56% and 53% of HOMICIDE victims are among this ethnic group in Miami-Dade County and Broward County respectively. Hispanics were more at risk of being a victim of HOMICIDE in 2007 than they were in 2004.Conclusions: A substantial proportion of the HOMICIDE victims were 22 years of age or younger. . In fact, the HOMICIDE victims’ average age has been steadily decreasing in recent years. The drastic increase in the risk of death by gunshot among young Black non-Hispanic and Hispanic residents warrants cause for concern.
